Because the fifth season of Indian Premier League (IPL) begins Wednesday Bollywood actor Salman Khan said Monday that filmmakers is not going to shrink back from releasing their films in the course of the cricket tournament as one among his hit films was released in the course of the World Cup.
“I don’t think there'll be any difference should you release your film during IPL. My film ‘Biwi No. 1′ was released during (1999) World Cup,” Salman told reporters here Monday while announcing his association with yatra.com. He has invested in yatra.com and may be the face of the travel portal.
The fifth edition of IPL could be held during April 4-May 27. With nine teams and 76 games across 12 locations, it promises to be a treat for cricket fans.
Asked which team he thought will win the IPL, Salman replied diplomatically, “The best team should win. I'VE a lot of friends who own the teams. Who plays the most productive should win.”
Both Salman and Shah Rukh Khan, who're at loggerheads, organised two different events within the city.
In fact, Salman’s event which was imagined to start at 11.30 within the morning, was postponed to 1.30 and clashed with SRK’s.
When asked about it, Salman said: “I was shooting for ‘Dabangg 2′ till 3.30 a.m. We packed up too late and that i was sleeping. I can’t just stand up and are available for an event. I went for my workout, had breakfast, took some rest after which I came here.” – IANS
